Services for these conditions would be billed to your medical insurance instead of your vision insurance plan. A good rule of thumb is that if your problem can be treated with glasses or contact lenses, it's a vision problem and thus billed to your vision insurance. Otherwise, the condition is likely medical and will be billed to the appropriate medical plan.

Contact Lens Evaluation
​
A comprehensive contact lens evaluation is performed on all patients that require a contact lens prescription. The assessment is in addition to the Comprehensive Eye Examination. The exam consists of an ocular health assessment, corneal curvature measurements, topography, an evaluation of the fit of the lenses on the eyes, and follow-up visits to determine the long-term vision and comfort of the lenses.
